ABOUT US

As the major player of South East Asian ebook industry, eSentral as a company is not for the faint hearted.

The idea behind eSentral was instigated by a group of professionals who were overwhelmed with work triggered by new emerging digital market.

From something that was considered a domestic online enterprise, eSentral has grown into a digital platform monster serving more than 40,000
ebooks for the market of Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore, and all this started on landscape which did not have an ebook industry to begin with.

In 2011

eSentral was perceived as too advanced and early for its climate. Although many local publishers already started
using eSentral due to its copyrights protection (Digital Rights Management) service, it was abroad that eSentral started gaining
recognition, starting with the signings of several major supply contracts with digital book aggregators from around the world.

In 2012, eSentral was taken more seriously in its own region and received Series A funding to accelerate its planning on plate.
Since then, the company have been able to flex their muscles and extended eSentral service to serve libraries and enterprises.

eSentral commenced a pioneering project with Sabah State Library to serve ebooks for remote lending focusing on local ebooks.
Since then, eSentral ebook lending system which is known as ELIB, has been vastly used by libraries in Malaysia,
including National Library of Malaysia.

In 2013, eSentral introduced Digimag, a cross platform interactive magazine block which took South East Asia by surprise and
received thousands of downloads.

Later in the year, eSentral and Samsung Electronics joint hand in hand to present Samsung Smart Library @ National Library of Malaysia,
a 1,300 square foot facility equipped with 60 tablets to serve digital reading. It is the first facility of its kind in South East Asia
and has also won Best Global Corporate Shared Value Project Award by Samsung Global office.
